Melissa Gorga Won’t Return to RHONJ if Teresa Giudice Comes Back After Reboot

Melissa Gorga is adamant about her stance regarding her participation in Bravo’s The Real Housewives of New Jersey, especially if her sister-in-law Teresa Giudice continues to be part of the show.

The reality TV series is undergoing changes for Season 15, which might include a complete cast overhaul or significant changes in the lineup. The future of the current housewives remains uncertain, but Gorga disclosed in a recent interview that she does not want to be part of a toxic environment.

“Because of all the rumors that are out there, I am fully prepared for anything,” Gorga said during her appearance on the Two T’s In a Pod podcast. “I think I would realize that [Giudice] and I are two extremely different characters.”

She elaborated, “So if Bravo decides to go that route and kind of the darker, whatever it is, route, then I need to say, ‘That is not a show that I want to be on anyway,’ which it truly isn’t.”

Gorga made it clear, “I do want to be on RHONJ. I do not want to be on that toxic sh** so as long as she is there and that whole thing would come back, I wouldn’t find it as a loss.”

The current dynamics among the RHONJ cast members have deteriorated to a point where they seem unable to resolve their issues or move forward. This strained relationship among the cast members was so severe that Bravo decided to cancel the reunion and instead filmed the cast in separate rooms, capturing their reactions to the Season 14 finale.

Despite Gorga’s hope for a RHONJ future without Giudice, Teresa Giudice has no plans to leave unless instructed by the network.

“No, I’m not leaving. I started the show and when Bravo wants me to leave, that’s when I’ll leave,” Giudice stated during her appearance on Live with Kelly & Mark.
